Title: City Cabs Logo
Post by: Philby on May 05, 2011, 01:21:05 PM
Hi All,

I have a small project that requires the old City Cabs logo that appeared on the Hobart FC cab doors and roof light in '59+.

I can only find very low res. ones on the net and they are all on the TRAX Model TR13H model.

If anyone has a clear image of the logo and the print on the roof light I'd really appreciate you posting or emailing it to me. Even a close-up shot from a Trax model may do the job.

I've been in contact with the company now running City Cabs and although they have some pictures and business cards, they have been unable to scan and send them to me.

Here is what I've been able to find, but I need a clearer one.

Hey Deano,

Yep a themed taxi. My car is a Sydney car and hasn't seen any service as a taxi, I'm just looking to have some fun with friends and family. Nothing permanent except a taxi rail if I can find one.

City Cabs ran in Hobart and I've found their colour scheme and logo's would be best for my project.

I just read through your restoration post. Looks like a great car to own. I've been spending hours on research too, don't you wish the taxi companies just kept images, records, adverts etc. for us :)

I'll let you know if I come across anything for Black & White Taxi's.

Cheers,

Phil
